Charles (“Chuck”) Kramer has had a passion for the automotive industry that spans over four decades. His career started as a janitor, moving on to the trenches as a lube technician in the early 80’s. He was quickly recognized as capable of doing more. He moved into sales and quickly became the #1 salesman at his dealership. The promotions that followed quickly moved him up the ranks, being promoted to Finance, the New Car and Truck Manager, GSM, GM, and ultimately Managing Partner. Chuck has been in the Texas market since the mid-1990s and has served as an Operator/Managing partner for 28 years in Houston, Texas.
In 2018 Chuck partnered with Foundation Automotive in Houston and served as Chief Operating Officer. Through 2022 Foundation Automotive grew to over 36 dealerships in the U.S. and Canada. He brings to the organization a multitude of operational turnaround and growth skills, team development knowledge, and intimate automotive experience in variable, fixed, and financial operations. Chuck's passion for the community includes his involvement in many charities Mothers Against Cancer, Houston Livestock and Rodeo - Calf Committee, Village Learning Center, Family Time Charity, Humble ISD Education Foundation, and Petra Cares where he currently holds a position on their advisory council.
